My mother's voice

Watching "The Voice" the other night 
Kelly's eyes began to leak (tear up)
She was missing her dear mum
She said she hadn't heard her voice 
For a couple of years; she's been gone 
I started crying my tears for you 
Ah dear mum; how I miss you too
It's been way over 18 months 
Since I last heard your voice 
Longer; actually; if I think upon it 
As in your last few months 
You didn't even utter any words 
Merely said "mmmmmm" if you could 
I miss you so very much my darling mum
And as it is Mother's Day this coming Sunday 
There are a few simple words I'd like to say
Thank you for loving me 
Thank you darling mum
For everything you did for me 
For all the times you spoke with love 
I thank the dear Lord up above 
For being such a wonderful part of my life
